This feels...timely. I've been asking my Polish husband to take me to Poland for years. I'm not sure I can make these dates and price point work but I am VERY intrigued by the idea. I will be praying on this - and probably going to get a passport ASAP JIC!

Hi Claire! This pilgrimage is a dream for my mom, sister, and I. My mother is 100% Polish, and we would absolutely love to do a pilgrimage like this. However, I will have a 5 month old infant come next October and intend to breastfeed. Wondering if taking an infant along is at all a possibility?

Oh my goodness. Answer to prayer; I’ve wanted to do a Pilgrimage to Poland for so many years. And I really feel like this little group I stumbled on the internet, led so incredibly by you Claire, is my tribe. (Thank you Holy Spirit.. I see you!). I’ve registered and feel peace in my decision.

Is there a lower age limit for the trip? My oldest daughter will be 15 next Oct and LOVES all things Poland.

We had two teens come to France and LOVED having them! Teens are more than welcome if traveling with a legal guardian.

Claire I am a FOCUS missionary who doesn’t know who her supervisor will even be next year but who also REALLY wants to go on this trip. Any advice?

Ugh so tricky. Maybe ask your current team lead now what they think. It’s definitely post fall outreach but if you had a retreat or something I could see it being an issue…that being said, I have a hard time seeing FOCUS being upset at you for going on a JP2 pilgrimage to pray and strengthen your faith.

And if your regional leader happens to be Levi Rash, tell him too bad, I said you could go and you’re going 😂
